Events for May 17 - March 14

In this course, which meets on ten Saturdays from September to May, we design and sew garments using four natural fibers (cotton, linen, wool and silk) to create four items for a complete outfit. Drafting simple patterns and sewing by hand gives us an opportunity for meditative work and a chance to center ourselves. Over the course of the year we experience different sewing techniques, plant dyeing, and embroidery as we create our own unique fabric for our garments.

Participate in the end-of-season harvest of flowers, leaves, and roots from our biodynamic dye garden, and experience dyeing natural materials. Feel the healing energy from the plant world as you receive the beautiful colors from nature.

Please join us for a free community workshop. Fiber Craft Studio Co-director Miho Suzuki will show how to make a pieced drawstring from fabric scraps. Fabric that was plant-dyed here at the Studio will be provided.
